Good, Fun, Affordable, Under-rated Car —
Performance on this car is remarkable for an automatic small sedan, mine has the 2.4 engine. Really fun to drive. The engine and the transmission never give problems. The car has ABS brakes, airbags and some other features. Build quality is good and the styling is very superior than its competition.

Its Mine Not Yours —
performance-great top end power and take off power
very fun car to drive.1999 has no rust anywhere
handling is great. can take very sharp turns. very easy on gas
sleek car nice to look at. what every guy needs and wants

I Love Her And Will Never Get Rid Of Her —
I love this car just need to fix the exhaust and maybe a paint job. she runs amazingly. she is a smooth ride. besides needing a new exhaust she is a beaut. She gets great gas milage and its not hard to find her

Get One And Fix It Up Nice. They Look Great With Some Imagination Behind It —
White, 2 door, Sunfire GT. Handles very well, and fun too drive. Black detailing we did ourselves. Great on gas, with little maintenance needed. Rides well, and a great little car for just crusin, when you just want too go!!

Good Pontiac —
Pretty good car. Pretty efficient. Always starts. Great in the winter with winter tires on it. For an automatic it is somewhat fun to drive. It is a 2-door so space is limited to 4 adults somewhat comfortably, 5 uncomfortably (short trip only!)

I Would Buy Another One —
handles good economical sporty look cheap enough to buyeasy and low maitenance nice interior little small inside few sqeaks in it but it is 11 years old all in all its been a good car.the sun roof is an added bonus

Worth The Price —
i like this car because it is reliable, smooth on the road it is really cheap to fix and the parts are easy to come b, but with regular mainteince you should never have a problem with this vehicle.ever.cool cool

99 Pontica Sunfire —
very fast for an automatic.
solid car the only think that is worng with it so far is that i need a fuel pumep. it's pritty good on gas. i use 10-15 dollar a week. i think this car i very good looking would blow my mind if it had a body kit.

Funn —
the performance on it is ok..it handles good nd has a decent gas milage..but on its bad days it sucks...for the body to hav 173,000 miles its pretty damn clean in and out surprisingly...for what it was worth to fix it would probally add up to if i actually bought it at a dealer....i paid 400 bucks...its a fun and good first car if u noe how to play around it.

For Its Price A Good Car If You Want To Have Some Fun —
Performance wise it pulls pretty good. plenty of torque it will accelerate strongly right up till the speedo tops out and keep going.
handleing:
throught the corners its stays reasonably level unless your rlly pushing it but its comfortable to drive not jarring so unless you put stiffer springs in its not gonna handle much better then you have a hard ride which some ppl like. doesn't act front heavy at all which is nice.
appearance good except for the front bumper (looks like a saggy camaro)
Cost: good milage on highway not so great in town cheep to insure cheep to repair unles your trying to find tail lights.
fun factor: not what it would be in a much nicer car, but for the price its got more than enough fun factor
